    摘要: A computer system has a plurality of processing units (2-1,2-2,2-n) connected via one or more system buses (1-1,1-2). Each processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n) has three or more processors (20-1,20-2,20-3) on a common support board (PL) and controlled by a common clock unit (1000). The three processors (20-1,20-2,20-3) perform the same operation and a fault in a processor (20-1,20-2, 20-3) is detected by comparison of the operations of the three processors (20-1,20-2,20-3). If one processor (20-1,20-2,20-3) fails, the operation can continue in the other two processors (20-1,20-2,20-3) of the processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n), at least temporarily, before replacement of the entire processing unit (2-1,2-2, 2-n). Furthermore, the processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n) may have a plurality of clocks (A,B) within the clock unit (1000), with a switching arrangement so that the processors (20-1,20-2,20-n) normally receive clock pulses from a main clock (A), but receive pulses from an auxiliary clock (B) if the main clock (A) fails. Switching between the main and auxiliary clock (A,B) involves comparison of the pulse duration from the clocks (A,B). Additionally, a plurality of cache memories (220,221) may be connected in common to the processors (20-1,20-2,20-3), so that failure of one cache memory (220,221) permits the processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n) to continue to operate using the other cache memory (220,221). Coherence of the contents of the cache memories (220,221) may be achieved by direct comparison, and a comparison method can also be used to invalidate data in an internal cache memory (2020-1,2020-2,2020-3) of a processor (20-1,20-2,20-3) which differs from that in the external cache memory (220,221). Coherence of protocols may also ensure that data in caches (220,221) of the different processor units (2-1,2-2,2-n) are always correct.

    摘要: In order to precisely detect abnormal objects by use of a low-cost arrangement at high speeds while avoiding unwanted influence of variations of a light source and/or regularly vibrating objects in the environment concerned, there are provided a means 4200 for subdividing an image being input from a camera into blocks, an object candidate extraction unit 4700 which is operable to compare image data of a frame to be processed and image data of its immediately preceding frame in units of blocks to thereby extract an abnormal object candidate in accordance with the presence or absence of edges and a longitude-to-lateral edge radio change rate, and an object judging unit 4800 for determining or “judging” whether the abnormal object candidate is a true abnormal object or not, wherein the object judging unit 4800 regards it as an abnormal object in cases where movement of the abnormal object candidate was traceable for a prespecified length of time period.

    摘要: For the preparation of a tree structure recognition dictionary, in order to obtain the best decision tree, the maximum depth or the sum of the depths should be taken into account. For this purpose, there is provided a system and method for preparing a recognition dictionary which makes it possible to shorten both the maximum recognition time and the total recognition time by successively allocating to nodes of the decision tree features, for which a feature evaluation measure called "maximum estimated depth" for reducing the maximum depth or "sum of estimated node numbers" for reducing the sum of the depths is the smallest.
